Why Should You Attend

Project finance transactions are complex, capital-intensive, and highly sensitive to risk. Whether you are a financial professional, project developer, public-sector official, lender, or advisor, the ability to build, interpret, and stress-test robust financial models is essential. This masterclass equips you with the tools, confidence, and practical expertise to excel in real-world project finance environments.

The Project Financial Modelling interactive and comprehensive Masterclass explores PPP, project finance, relevant financial modelling, and PPP project management, and utilises case studies and exercises to illustrate the theory in practice. Further topics covered include how to make a PPP project work; how to model the role of debt, debt covenants, cash waterfalls, inter-creditor relations, restructuring and rescheduling of debt; how to model risk and the role of equity and its potential rewards.

 Delegates will gain a detailed understanding of project management, as well as a thorough background as to how project finance and PPP work, both from the strategic perspective of Government and from the standpoint of the numerous other participants, especially banks and the sponsors who are responsible for delivering the projects. With private finance increasingly being mobilised to deliver infrastructure projects in South Africa and the region, this Masterclass meets a real need. On completing this three-day Project Financial Modelling Masterclass, you will have built a fully functional financial model covering the period from the beginning of construction through to the end of the project’s operating period.
